The 27th of September is World Tourism Day, and the United Nations’ theme in 2024 is “Tourism and Peace” to highlight the capacity for tourism to bridge connections and understandings between nations and cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As the United Nations’ page describes it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism, often highlighted for its role in economic development, also plays a significant role in fostering peace. On a global level, where nations are interconnected and interdependent, Tourism, an industry made by people and for people, emerges as a compelling and dynamic force to defy stereotypes and challenge prejudices.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sector can be perceived as the epitome of intercultural dialogue; it allows meeting the “other”, learning about different cultures, hearing foreign languages, tasting exotic flavours, bonding with other human beings, and building tolerance. In essence, it is a mind-broadening educational and spiritual experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Romance of Crossing Borders<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studying and Volunteering Abroad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by Neriko Musha Doerr and Hannah Davis Ta\u00efeb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOverall, this edited volume illustrates the complexities of affective encounters as students and young volunteers cross borders and engage with cultural diversity. Important is the relevance of understanding, studying, and acknowledging how affect impacts subject-making as students travel. There are also important insights that allow practitioners, teachers and programme co-ordinators to think strategically about how to better direct or address affective encounters in more meaningful and productive ways.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transforming Study Abroad<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Handbook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neriko Musha Doerr<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoerr\u2019s work makes a unique contribution to the international education scholarship by grouping together the key terms supporting the dominant discourse and putting them under the spotlight for a closer examination. For easy practical reference, the author chooses to focus on one term in each chapter. While using theories to expose the study abroad clich\u00e9s, the author manages to keep her language simple and easy to understand.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 McGill Journal of Education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel and Representation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by Garth Lean, Russell Staiff, and Emma Waterton<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a well-written book that disentangles, through sound interdisciplinary scholarship, the multiple workings of travel representations, their effects on people, and their limits\u2026[It] is definitely recommended reading for graduate students and scholars with an interest in how travel, including tourism, is represented and how both travel and its representations mutually influence each other.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 JRAI (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the book offers most is a rich, detailed, and highly personal account of how everyday life is experienced within a community centred on a developmentourism project. It also offers a valuable source of reflection on the process and challenges of doing ethnographic research, particularly in postcolonial settings. In this way, it stands as a useful ethnography to illustrate discussions of tourism, development, community, participation, governance \u2013 many of the concepts central to our teaching and whose complexity we often find so difficult to convey to students.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Anthropos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis book establishes \u2018imaginaries\u2019 as part of the conceptual apparatus of the anthropology of tourism [and] contributes to social anthropology more generally by exploring how tourism imaginaries intersect with broader cultural and ideological structures\u2026 The wealth of its ethnography, combined with its innovative conceptual approaches, exemplifies the strengths anthropology is bringing to interdisciplinary tourism studies.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
